It's amazing how many random scraps of paper we still produce in this digital age. Hubby and I try really hard to get into the habit of filing, but the other day we missed our credit card bill payment because he accidentally filed our bill before we paid it. Starting to think maybe I should loosen up about the de-cluttering the desk thing, lol. Have you tried some kind of bin system? When I lived at home, the papers my Dad left everywhere drove my Mom nuts so she hung up three mailboxes, one for each of us, and as she found random crap of ours she'd file it so no important slip of paper every got lost and then the kitchen table was free of that kind of stuff, because that was the natural dumping ground.

Thanks Heather! Is my Hubby neat? That's a good question. Yes, he is but not to the same extend I am. I can't function well with clutter and mess. It really affects my emotional and mental well being to the point where I can start panicking. Hubby cleans and helps keep the house tidy, but I think it's because he likes when I stay sane and he knows that cleanliness is key, haha. Left to his own devices, the house would likely be more messy. He does leave his stuff out more than I do, which drives me nuts, but he never leaves the desk messy because I work here but he just does leisure stuff at the computer (he works outside the home), so he respects that this space needs to be kept tidy. He will, however, leave a pile of his junk on the kitchen counter or his stuff from work all over the bedroom floor. It bugs me so much when he leaves a pile of stuff to bring out the garage by the door for days. Sometimes I just point to it and frown, and he finally deals with it. The tables are turned when it comes to the truck, which he likes to keep super clean but I struggle to keep it tidy when I'm using it, lol. So your hubby likes clean spaces but leaves his stuff out? How does that not bother him? What a funny guy!

Thanks for your kind words :)I'm not 100% sure how good my longer legs plan is, so for now it's filed under "someday," lol.

Wow you think of every little detail, Tanya! I would never have dared to think of putting in longer legs.. Of course the room has to be set up based on usage – and you have no dearth of great views in any case 🙂 Was very curious about this room and it has turned out beautifully!

Thanks so much! I am really impressed with the Stilnovo brand I found from Wayfair, they make some really nice quality mid-century modern inspired pieces.

That's such a great idea! I had originally wanted the trunk under the window and the chair where the trunk is, but the vent would have been covered, so I wanted to add some legs but Hubby was very adamant that we not tinker with the trunk. Then the chair would have had a really pretty view out the window. Where it is, it's too freakishly low to see much out the window if it were turned around. I've thought about adding longer legs – I even thrifted a set – but it was the wrong kind of screw-in base size. When the treadmill is set up, this arrangement will be nice because we'll be able to chat – one person can read/relax while the other runs and then we can swap. The furniture placement was tricky – I really needed just a few more feet…
